Javier Milei’s move
Milei united in a single movement the two main adversaries of Menem in the House of Representatives. Ritondo and Zagofriends and old acquaintances in politics from the time of the Buenos Aires Legislature, are two candidates for the presidency of the Chamber of Deputies, which is currently occupied by the man from La Rioja.
Was Mauricio Macri the first to promote Ritondo for that position that is located in the line of succession of power and that, the iron triangle that integrates Milei, her sister and Santiago Caputoleft it in the hands of the LLA despite the suggestion of Guillermo Francos to enthrone Florencio Randazzo in that position.
Now Macri is back on the attackLast week at a PRO summit in Paraná, and in a shot over the head against Martin Menemthe former president warned that “the Chamber of Deputies It has its own logic, you have to know how to manage it, it is another of the things I discuss with the President.”

For now, and beyond the 2025 Budget that Milei would present in person on Monday 16th in the House of Representativesthere is no parliamentary agenda agreed upon between LLA and its allies for the last four months of the year in Congress.
The first urgency of the National Executive Branch will be to sustain the presidential veto of the law that granted an 8.1% increase in pensions. It will be the acid test of the coordination table that some in the House of Representatives refer to as “the table of the third.” The national government remembered its allies just at the moment when it needed them to add at least a third of the votes to block any opposition attempt to reject Milei’s veto in the chamber.
